Make sure that iCloud Photos is turned on

iCloud Photos securely stores all of your photos and videos in iCloud, so that you can access them on all of your devices. If you took a photo on your iPhone but don't see it on your other devices, check your settings.

On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:

Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud.

Tap Photos.

Turn on iCloud Photos.

On your Mac:

Go to System Preferences > iCloud.

Next to Photos, click Options.

Select iCloud Photos.

After you turn on iCloud Photos, you might need to connect to Wi-Fi and wait a few minutes. Then look for your photos again.
